Talking to my dad about ALOHA-NET

I'm currently taking a course in computer communication, and explained some of the history of the internet and networking in general with my parents.

When I got to the part about wireless connections, I mentioned that the first wireless data network was the ALOHA-NET, which was developed on the Hawaii islands.

Dad was quiet for a few seconds, and then said with a smile:

"Is that why it's called HawaiiFi?
